I don't see a need to have separate repositories. Unless it is a requirement of the tracking software. Here was have three repositories only. Each is for a totally separate dev group that develop for totally different vertical markets. We use a very high level security... if you have access to the repo then you have full rights to it. So, seperating that at the repo level is just easier. I understand that path based authorization in svn slows the server down.

Having a single repository makes branching, externals and other stuff much easier.

I lean towards this. You can go two ways with your folders too. You can have a single trunk/tag/branch hierarchy and each project within it. This would generally be used when all of the projects are versioned together. Or you could create a trunk/branch/tag hierarchy under each project folder. Or, you could do a hybrid of both. I suggest you read Chapter 5 of the svn book specifically http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.reposadmin.projects.chooselayout .
